[1] You should have emotional commitment, but in pure emotions, like loving-kindness and compassion; not negative ones like anger. [2] True strength is from within, not from external stimuli. [3] The strong pass the test of patience, with no need to tolerate anything or vent at anyone at all. [4] To give in to rage is to be weak. To not give in is to be strong.
[5] If you become more angry when wronged, you are more likely to actually do wrong, less likely to do what is right to right the wrong. [6] Strength that arises only when angry is not true strength. It is too heavily conditioned, unlike calmness that is unconditioned. [7] It is better to be calm and righteous than angry and righteous. [8] Be a calm and clear gentleman, not a grunting and incoherent monster.
[9] When you lose your temper, you lose your mind, thus losing mindfulness too. [10] When you are really angry, is it really you, or is there a better you within, who is not angry at all?

You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry.’ Don’t make that excuse for being angry. Think instead, ‘I should not make myself angry. I wouldn’t like me when I’m angry. No one else does too!’ [16] Even if the Hulk can be kind of savage yet kind of kind, why not just be kind?
